[QUOTE=Exile;449844]Some additional information from a mate who was the operations Manager of Shute Shield Club.

Apparently all funding to Shute Shield clubs ceased in the first year of Pulvers tenure as CEO of ARU.

As far as I know now

On Top now is the $12 fee for all players that play in NSW , not as bad as Qld ( $20 Jr's , $28 seniors)

Also, Hore had the spine to pull what was NSW Rugby funding into the wallets for a indulgence that is the SS on 7TWO into only NSW and Qld ( $300 TO $400 Grand)

Must Subbies and Country hate the SS clubs with a passion , stealing players, putting nothing into the grassroots and most Subs and Country people don't watch the SS, they are watching their own clubs on the day!

I thought I might drop in and share some information about what has come out of NSWRU and SubbiesRU in the last month or so. You probably wont find it interesting.

Subbies Rugby Announced the fee structure for Clubs in 2018.

$2000 per team for Insurance
$1000 per team for Registration
$1000 per team for Rugby Australia Levy
$360 per team for NSWRU Levy.
If you add to this the costs for Jerseys, Shorts, Socks, Physio, Training kit, Ground Fees. Club Rugby in Sydney has become a very expensive sport.

So these NSW and Qld clubs must be thrilled that the ARU knocked back $50 mil from Twiggy a few months ago, because it "came too late" and then poured the "savings" (+ an extra $1mil ) from axing the Force into paying for a bloated Rebel's team list, on top of the millions squandered on them for the last 7 years.

When are these clubs in NSW and Qld going to have a revolution and get rid of the ARU board? Bakkes and Exile? Surely it must happen?
